Like Eating Glass

Bloc Party – Like Eating Glass from The Silent Alarm (2005) /nu.wave.disco.punk/
((“It’s so cold in this house. It’s so cold in this bed. I can’t eat, I can’t sleep. I can’t sleep, I can’t dream. I’m aversioned to light. Like drinking poison. Like eating glass.”
The lights flick off in succession. It’s restless inside. Someone’s knocking on the door. Restless and unprotected. Someone’s coming down the stairs. Crouch down under a dull blue overhanging, shards of orange black metal cutting through, clawing apart, peering in. Eyes intent. Face to face. Circling. Unapart. Melded. Woozy.))
